i was eBay looking around for random crap and i really wanted to mess with electronics dont know why i just wanted to open up a computer or smoothing so i ended up buying a broken 360, the guy said it had the RROD and said he didnt want to fool with it any more, well when i received it i plugged it up and by god it worked it booted up and went to the homepage where you make a new account. i was stunned i just bought a xbox for 10 dallors!!!!!!!!!!!!!

unfortunately my father taught me to buy a good and truthful man so i have already contacted the guy and on my way to sending it back to him.

i was just thinking wow this is something that doesn't happen very often and now i find it very amusing

(i had a previous thread talking about games being to expensive and yes i know blowing my money on a broken 360 is stupid but then again i bought it for 10 dallors and it worked, i thought that is one hell of a deal) the thread is either on page 2 or 3 on the xbox forum check it out if you have time)

lol I don't know if you wanna go around bragging about how you bought a working 360 for 10 dollars if you just sent it back to the guy. I would've just gone to GameStop with it and worked out one of their random trade-in deals to get a bunch of games for it. Also, if it really did have the RRoD then I'm assuming it's only a matter of time before the herpe-like red rings flare up again and the thing becomes unusable.

There was really no point to this... but, hey, good for you on giving it back. I probably wouldn't have been able to do the same.

That's good...I would have sent it back also. I'm pretty sure that it will red ring again soon.

You gave it back? that was very dumb of you. If you actually planned on fixing the RROD you probably did a little research. After a RROD'd 360 has been turned off for a long time it will sometimes work again but after 5 mins of playing it will go back to being bricked. So basically you gave this man another RROD console and will make him sell it for a second time. Major inconvenience if i was him.

I would not have sent it back it is bound to red ring again. Both of my RRoDs started working after being turned off 10 minutes to a day but then would RRoD again after 5 seconds to 2 days of use.

also I would not call it a "good working xbox" I would go for "barely working xbox".

How much is a dallor, in dollars? :P

But well done for giving it back, I probably wouldn't do that.

good job on that. i bought a broken xbox 360 and it actually didn't work. i tried getting it worked but i couldn't get it fixed. i'm going to have to send it into someone local who can fix it. i also have my half modded xbox 360, which works. all i did was put a whisper fan in the back of it. it glows blue and cools it better then the regular 360 fan.
